(Memphis) Teddy bears now mark the spot at Woodall and Jenkins where 15 year old Justin Thompson was killed Monday.

Police Director Toney Armstrong asked the TBI to take over the investigation since an officer was involved, and all they've released is one statement saying Officer Terrance Shaw was at the scene when Thompson was shot.

The Mayor`s office says Shaw was the apparent victim of a robbery and the TBI is looking over evidence to see if the two knew each other or had ever talked before.

Other than that we know nothing about the crime.

Mayor Wharton says he is unhappy with the information he is able to release because of police department policy.
